There have been numerous reports that the health care field may be in trouble once the health care reform actually starts to be put into action. It is estimated that 30% of the current physicians in practice will be retiring within the next 5-7 years and there are not enough people coming out of medical school to take their place. This does not account for the current patient load that many offices currently have and then you add an additional 32 million plus into the system we may be in for a severe shortage in help. Many of the mid-level practitioners will be responsible for taking on this additional patient load and the trend in medical assisting school will only rise as those that support the physicians continue to grow. While more people may have access to health care the question will be who will be there to deliver it?
